"Mr. ...... Wang attaches great importance to national affairs and looks forward to the overall situation. The position of the courtier has the heart of serving the country, on the occasion of this eventful autumn, you can raise troops to Chengdu Mansion, in order to restore the territory of Sichuan to help Chen a certain arm, he will succeed in the day, the court will have a reward, Chen is also willing to protect Mr. Mianzhou prefect, seal the wife and son. ”

Changsun Hong read the letter in one breath, then raised the letter in the wind, and smiled at the people sitting in the room: "Chen Longzhi's envoy wants to protect me as the prefect, as long as I am willing to send troops to help him, I can be the prefect of the five grades, this favor is not small." The deputy envoy of Xuzhou's defense is only a military general of the seventh grade, and he has jumped five levels in one step. ”

"Extraordinary times and extraordinary things, Chen Longzhi is also in a panic, he can't care about those rules and regulations, the big hat is thrown around, whoever helps him will hit whoever with the big hat." Duan Wu said with a smile, just kidding.

Everyone laughed, and Wang Chao, the general of Shimen, was anxious, and shouted: "Chen Longzhi thinks beautifully!" If you want the ghost king to help him fight, you don't take a penny, you don't pay a single rice, and you write a letter and ask us to rush over, this birdman thinks so well! ”

Na Tuozhi looked at him in surprise, with a look of surprise: "Huh? Wang Manzi actually knows how to use his brain? How do you know? Did you ask someone? ”

Wang Chao was annoyed, punched Na Tuozhi in the chest, and said, "Don't you underestimate people?" I entered the academy in Shimenfan like you, and my grades were better than yours at that time, and the masters often praised me, but I never praised you! ”

"Come on, it's like no one knows who." Na Tuozhi dodged and said with a smile: "You stood and listened to the lectures for two of the three days in the academy back then, and the masters punished you for being boring, and the masters didn't praise me because I was stubborn, but you made the masters have nowhere to boast." ”

The barbarians laughed again, this group of people are about the same age, more than ten years ago, when Changsun Hong went to Shimen Fan Academy to recruit barbarians, these people almost went in to read and write together, and knew each other's roots.

And Changsun Hong is more kind to his own people, there is no shelf, and he often deviates from the topic in the meeting, and he will not get angry, so Shimen Fan often has a warm atmosphere when he holds meetings.

Changsun Hong then knocked on the table, drew everyone's attention back from the two of them, and said, "Wang Manzi has a point, does anyone else have anything to say?" ”

Na Tuozhi raised his finger and pointed to the map hanging high on the wall and said: "Ghost King, that Mianzhou is in the north of Chengdu Mansion, leaning on Xingyuan Mansion, in other words, it is under the nose of the Mongols, and the Mongols can go out for a walk to the gate of Mianzhou City." Chen Longzhi didn't have a good heart, and let the ghost king go there as the prefect, making it clear that he wanted to treat us as meat pads in front, and the first one of the Mongols going south would have trouble with the ghost king. ”

"That's right! And at present, Mianzhou is still in the hands of the Mongols, although their large army has withdrawn to the north of Jiange Lizhou according to Chen Longzhi's statement, but whether this is the case, whether there are Mongols left behind in Mianzhou is a problem, we rush over, it is equivalent to giving Chen Longzhi a trip to thunder, no matter how you look at it, we can't draw it. The barbarian general Dong Zhichun also stood up and said, this person looks black and thin, he doesn't look tall, but he has amazing strength, Shimenfan's entry stone lock, he can run around the school field one by one, walking like flying, and he still has the spare strength to practice swordsmanship, which is an extremely brave general of Shimenfan.

Everyone, you and I said a word, mentioned each other, complemented each other, and it didn't take long to analyze Chen Longzhi's intentions, which was not far from what Changsun Hong thought by himself.

Duan Wu and Changsun Hong listened to everyone's speeches, and exchanged glances with each other tacitly, both of them were relieved and happy.

Shimen Fan met with an assembly and called a number of generals over to discuss together, which was a habitual move. In this way, we can gather the wisdom of all people and prevent the disadvantages of one-sided thinking of one person; Second, you can improve the ability of barbarian generals in the discussion, let them use their brains to think about problems, peel back the surface to see the deeper essence, and speed up the maturity of these people.

After all, they are all the forces that Changsun Hong will rely on in the future.

Changsun Hong also named this kind of meeting, called "Zhuge Liang Meeting", which made the barbarian generals even more happy, look, the ghost king treats us as Zhuge Liang, how glorious.

Everyone is proud to be able to participate in the meeting, and everyone is proud to be able to speak insightfully at the meeting.

When everyone was almost finished, Duan Wu coughed, stood up and said, "Since everyone has said it well, then please ask the Ghost King to make a final decision." ”

The eldest grandson Hong then nodded, and said solemnly: "That's right, Chen Longzhi took a fancy to our Shimenfan's combat strength, and asked us to be a pawn for him, to contribute people, and to bring shouts, and use a prefect's official hat to lure me. ”

Wang Chao was indignant and immediately shouted: "Ghost King, let's not go!" How can there be such a thing, we couldn't eat before, their court didn't care, they didn't care how many people died in the disaster, let us fend for ourselves in the mountains, and now they can't win against the Mongols, so they think of us, why? ”

Everyone agreed, roaring like thunder: "Yes! Our Shimen Fan can have today, it is the credit of Mr. Changsun, and it has nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty, they are shameless, and they treat us barbarians as fools! ”

Changsun Hong shook his head, pressed his hand in the air, suppressed everyone's anger, and said in a deep voice: "I often say that when things happen, we must not only think of a solution to this matter, but also see what kind of changes and impacts will be made after this incident." The Mongols went south, and it seems that the war between them and the Song Dynasty had nothing to do with our Dali and Shimenfan, but is this really the case? ”

"Before the Mongols attacked the Song Dynasty, they were allies with the Great Song Dynasty, and together with the Great Song Dynasty, they destroyed the Jin State, and now that the Jin State is dead, they turned their faces and attacked the Song Dynasty, and they didn't even recognize their allies, which shows the great ambition of the Mongols. When they fought the Xia Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, they must have already had the intention of attacking the Song Dynasty. ”

"So draw inferences from one another, the Mongols take Sichuan, who will target next? Just think about it. ”

"It must be Dali! Our country is weak in small soldiers, but in an awkward position, from Dali to the east, you can bypass the Kuimen Yangtze River natural danger, straight to the south of the Yangtze River, if the Mongols attack Xiangyang is blocked, they will inevitably think of a way to detour from Dali, what should we do then? ”

"With our tens of thousands of soldiers in Dali, can we stop the Mongols who destroyed the Jin Kingdom?"

Everyone was silent, blinking their eyes one by one, falling into deep thought, Changsun Hong likes to do this, point out the problem thoroughly, and let them think for themselves.

"So...... Ghost King, are we still going to send troops? After thinking for a long time, Na Tuozhi was the first to speak, his face was angry and angry, obviously very unwilling.

"Of course you have to send troops, you have heard the masters talk about the truth of cold lips and teeth in the academy." Changsun Hong said: "Chen Longzhi can't hold Sichuan, we will also be finished, don't look at us can fight higher than Chenglong and lose his armor, but the Mongols and him are completely different things, let's put it this way, the soldiers who are higher than Chenglong are not qualified to be strong for the Mongols." ”

"Not now, though." His hand slapped the table and made a loud noise, indicating that the following passage was important: "Now we can't go, but the reason is not because of Chen Longzhi's careful eye. But we went, and only sent to death, the Chengdu Plain is vast for thousands of miles, it is an excellent battlefield for the Mongols who are good at riding and shooting, Shimen Fan are all foot soldiers, in that kind of terrain, only to be slaughtered. ”
